M505 Error - Any one know how to resolve this?

Have you tried a different brand of microSD card? I know it might sound weird, but sometimes devices just seem picky about certain things. I have a computer that will not read TDK DVD-R's, but it will burn to a blank one just fine. The disc works in other computers too. If the prioblem is happening in any Motorola I would guess there is some issue realted to that. You shouldn't have to use MPT to put music on your phone...that would defeat the purpose of removable media in my opinion. Has Sprint done something to the pone to prevent people from loading their own songs? That would be pretty rotten were it the case.


Also, I presume the Razr is capable of using 1GB cards (i.e. the max supported size is not, say, 512MB)?

 

there is no way to plug your phone into the comp and put music on it you have to remove the memory card............also..........if you go to Menu>Settings>Security

select format Externel memory

that might work although i doubt it since youve tried 2 different microSD cards

 

That's bizarre that you can't do it without removing the card from the phone.

 

i've had my RAZR since November........i love it.......havent had any problems with it that were because of faulty hardware........all were fixable.......dont ever bluetooth music to your phone cuz it becomes read only.........then you need to do a hard reset to get rid of it......haha :biggrin:

 

yeah they are pretty awesome.......good lookin

 

I just got a new RAZR today, and I have the exact same problem. I called support, and they said it was a hardware issue.

The person that suggested this:
'select format Externel memory'
It's a good idea, but this option is not even available from the security menu. There is no option like this at all.

I've tried:
Reformating the card in my computer
Putting files on the card from my computer
Updated the software on the phone

Anyone ever resolve this?

 

i never had trouble with my memory card but if its just not reading the memory card properly then i would guess that its your phone and they sent you a faulty device....

 

I figured this out today.

By comparing my (brand new) RAZR to another RAZR at the store, it was obvious that my RAZR came with a factory defect. Looking inside the memory card slot, at least 2 of the pins were missing from the left hand side. Looking at the store's RAZR, I could see it had a full line of pins from left to right.

So if you are having this problem, I suggested looking at the pins and possibly taking your phone back.

 

you should point this out to the store cuz they will probably exchanges something liket that
